Examples
The following code example starts an instance of the Notepad application. The example then retrieves and displays various properties of the associated process. The example detects when the process exits, and displays its exit code and peak memory statistics.
#using <system.dll>

int main()

// Define variables to track the peak
// memory usage of the process.

Process^ myProcess = nullptr;
try
{
// Start the process.
myProcess = Process::Start( "NotePad.exe" );
// Display the process statistics until
// the user closes the program.
do
{
if ( !myProcess->HasExited )
{
// Refresh the current process property values.
myProcess->Refresh();
Console::WriteLine();
// Display current process statistics.

Remarks
The value returned by this property represents the maximum size of virtual memory used by the process since it started, in bytes. The operating system maps the virtual address space for each process either to pages loaded in physical memory, or to pages stored in the virtual memory paging file on disk.
This property can be used to monitor memory usage on computers with 32-bit processors or 64-bit processors. The property value is equivalent to the Virtual Bytes Peak performance counter for the process.
